Washington, who declined to release the shooter’s name because he was not charged, said it appears the man was defending himself based on the trajectory of the single shot, which struck the bear in the head.

“It appears to be a situation where the bear was running through the woods. ... It (the shot) indicated the bear was coming right toward him,” Washington said. “It was a straight on shot to the head.”

It’s believed the bear was shot from a distance of less than 30 feet, Washington said.
